A question for the great old ones around here.
I heard a few time that Dragonlance, and in general Weiss/Hickman work was pretty revolutionary at the time, like that it brought D&D out of the dungeon. But I am not really old enough to know the state of the RPG scene at the time, and don’t really know D&D (play it like once a decade).
So I am curious whether it was Revolutionary for RPG in general like PBTA nowadays, or whether it was more bringing some modern (for the time) concepts into D&D
I was part of a gaming club in Europe from 1983. I learned to play D&D basically just like Dragonlance depicted when it was published in 1984. So, for us, it was more of a reinforcement than a revolution.
